This is in terms of style, the so-called Wu-loaded refers to the painting on the "Wu Belt when the Wind," The painting wind, affected by the sculpture also appeared in this style of sculpture, in the statue of the clothing displayed. Qing people Yu Junming in the "picture sequence", said: "Wu painting, such as plastic, long buccal nose, fall into the face, not to mention the ink strong, the appearance of self-hing, its potential has not otherwise."

Leonardo da Vinci in the "theory of painting" more directly pointed out "painting and sculpture comparison: A-sculpture lack of color beauty, lack of color perspective, line perspective." Therefore, Chinese and western sculpture in the use of color is different.
